That's spooky.

I'm -8, which means my parents haven't been married yet and I wasn't even thought of.

Awesome I got a 7 which was my original number and of course my b-day

Thanks for that!

Cool maths gadget.

Still, it'd work next year if the numbers in step 5 are upped 1.

Edit: I started with 8. Wanted to say 21 (7x3), but the trick wouldn't've worked.
